Owner Comments:

Lyman Allen #2.30 (KM #163) - Mintage: 8,392,692

The one centavo was the only denomination struck at the Manila mint in 1933, which may account for the large number of well struck full red and red brown examples that are still available today.

This particular coin exhibits an above average strike and high point detail for this date. The color is a magnificent vibrant red and I was pleased to add it to my collection as a raw coin. It is one of the first coins I submitted to NGC with the certificate I received upon joining. The scratches on the obverse on the figures knee and torso are probably what prevented it from obtaining a higher grade.
